Really proud of where I am right now just want to get that out of the way first. When I look at this piece (from reference) it seems to miss a some sort of magic element that ties it all together.

I think my hair rendering probably needs work, I think my shading is lacking some sort of particular interest, and it feels like there is some sort of finishing work that is missing to give it some sort of pizazz or something.

Any criticisms and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

It's supposed to be Dante from the new Devil may cry anime. Thanks for any advice.

The skill jump between 2020 and 2021 was because of Summer in the pandemic, never really went outside 😭

Keeping my promise of holding myself accountable and posting every week.

Not gonna lie, I was a little busy with other stuff so my drawing time was cut short this week, but I still managed to do at least 15-30 minutes every day.

I know I got a bad habit with the vanishing points in boxes where I do them backwards sometimes so I am working on it. But hey, next week I am going to be drawing 250 boxes, so I'm sure I'll get better at it lol.

Anyways, like always tips and critiques are always welcome. I'll see yall next week!

I paint with watercolour and have realized my drawing skills are holding me back. I've never liked drawing, but the more I paint..the more i see how the skills are intertwined.

Tried to draw the candle holder on my coffee table while watching a movie. I was so focused on the values that I didn't see until I took these pictures that the proportions are all off. I guess I'll try again, and block in the shapes before honing in on the details.

From this daily draw series I've been doing called counter ninja. Finding some fun ways to practice my foundations. I like doing these big cut shots and figuring out how to bust them out.

Im aiming for a dreamy realism, something like the drawing of prud’hon. I feel like the shading could be a lot more smooth, but I’ve used tissues and q tip to blend and it still feels streaky and off.

Im mainly focused on the body, the background was added in an attempt to make it look more real. Im aware theres some minor proportion issues, but more concerned with the shading at the moment.

After some check ups i still remener most of the things from the draw a box, picked up where i elft off aith ghosted lines, still need to pratice more

Ill try to do some of the studies even if its only for qround 30 min, hope thats enough to get learn it

I tried to do something nice but can't get it

I'm going to move this to a larger canvas and I have no idea what to do for a background. Any critique is welcome as well

Study on moon’s mxtr amazing art.

Like real anatomy, not just box figures.

Learning art is my annual goal for this year so I am trying my best with it

any advice and specific recommendations on books or videos that helped you draw faces/portraits best? since that’s what I like drawing but don’t have a lot of practice with it yet. Felt like I did a lot wrong and this took too long cause I redid it twice since I disliked the first one so actually 2nd attempt lol

I know it’s not symmetrical & messed up the guidelines. Is early shading unnecessary? Should I focus on sketching everything out first, or is it okay to lightly shade as I go? *reference pic not attached

trying to learn the basics first, i’ve done a lot of scenes and houses with perspective and this was one of my first decent people drawings (besides doodles and stuff i drew as a kid)

didn’t even bother with the face yet, just working on getting the proportions and shape of people down. any tips or resources to help me improve?

(p.s., this is a drawing i did of my wonderful girlfriend hence the hearts lol)
